The web is 25 years old, and signing up for and paying for things is still broken. Why do you have to create an account and make up a password? Why do you have to type in a number off a card in your pocket? There is a big opportunity here that will seem obvious in retrospect.

And if you’re in the EU, why do you have click to accept cookies on every single website you visit?
That's not technology being broken. That's the EU being broken, which is much harder to fix.

Can’t it be fixed at the browser level? Sign up once with a broad catch-all contract?
-
There are browser extensions that will do exactly that.

Using cookies and leaving them on your computer is definitely a tech issue.

what if that’s exactly the technology what is being broken: the cookies. Cookies _are_ a user-side, private data, yet are being (ab)used to identify and collect private data elsewhere. A more logical solution would be to extend the cookies idea (and I’m happening to work on one).

How is that considered as EU being broken?

Browsers used to prompt you to accept cookies, which is the right place to do it. Then idiots started saving multiple cookies per website, and third-party cookies, and instead of changing the browser to just reject the whole lot, we changed the browser to not prompt.

lots of browsers are moving to block 3rd party cookies by default. I think safari flipped the switch this year

California will soon be requiring cookie popups. They are literally taking the worse possible part of the EU to copy

Cookie popup blocker anyone?
